# Approve several Confluence pages at once

To approve several Confluence pages at once, tick two or more rows in Capable Search results and choose **Approve**, **Reject** or **Comment** in the action bar, or drag cards into Approved on the Approval inbox. Bulk actions cannot collect an authenticator code, so in spaces that require one, answer each page on its own.

## Before you start

| **You need**                   | **Why**                                                                                        |
| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Capable Search                 | Bulk actions in search results need the Search capability, included in Capable for Confluence. |
| To be an approver on the pages | Pages you cannot answer fail individually and are listed at the end.                           |

## Steps

1. In Capable Search, open the **Pending approvals** view, or your own search with approval columns.
2. Tick two or more rows.
3. Select **Approve**, **Reject** or **Comment** in the action bar that appears.
4. Watch the progress bar, then check the per-page results at the end for anything that failed.

## Without Search

On a wide screen, the Approval inbox lets you drag cards from the waiting column into Approved or Rejected one after another. See [Track approvals](https://help.gocapable.com/approval/track-approvals.html).

## If it does not work

* Every page in the batch failed: the space most likely requires an authenticator code. Respond to each page individually. See [Sign approvals with a code](https://help.gocapable.com/approval/sign-approvals-with-a-code.html).
* Some pages failed: you are not an approver on them. The buttons appear for every selected row whether or not you can act on it.
